From these the editors worked, reading and sifting for many months before coming up with this final selection of nineteen stories. They range from the hilarious to the dramatic and illustrate the tremendous diversity of talent of all ages — from 14 to over 60 — to be found in this country today.\nEstablished writers rub shoulders with the relatively unknown and those who have never appeared in print before. Three of the stories have been winners in the State of Victoria Short Story Award.\nJealousy, loneliness, frustration, the fading world of the old, the irreverent, often uncertain world of the young — themes which have occupied writers from time immemorial are treated from new angles and make this one of the most stimulating and unusual anthologies to have appeared for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792295243995,"sku":"2026600000483-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a52f606c-64b3-4b20-89c6-8aa7fad0af16.png?v=1779274829","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000483-secondhand-australian-new-writing","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
